Gnome Blog

Gnome Blog is a nice little application/applet for GNOME. I have enjoyed using it. Sadly, it hasn't seen much love in recent years. I even submitted a patch to make it support Blogger's ATOM API, so that we could, you know, have titles that were proper and separate from the post.

I just looked at the patch again and touched it up a little. I previously had it adding a second Blogger.com option, but now it just replaces it. The old blogger.com API remains, because apparently some other service uses it. I decided to also find out how to add tags programtically. So, you should see those appear at the bottom.

Testing on another blog, I noticed that paragraphs weren't appearing properly, but I couldn't figure out why. Perhaps they will here?

One other thing I like about the ATOM API is that my blog list is sorted by Last Used, rather than by Random :) Yay!
